@jk76 it is fucking wild. Should note they didn't sell up to the mining company because the land claim blocked the sale, if that's not clear might need to amend.

#SouthAfrica

Both white supremacists like Trump and capitalist managers like Cyril Ramaphosa's ANC are profiting from hyping supposed expropriation of white-owned farms.

But that's not what's happening. And those that are expropriating land for the poor - like Abahlali baseMjondolo - are facing heavy state repression, including murder by ANC heavies.

This from libcom is a few months old but still cuts through the hype.

Pretty sure Makhan Singh wrote this history of the workers movement in Kenya knowing he'd get shot or re-arrested if he came out too strongly against Kenyatta.

Arise you tweeters from your slumbers
Arise you criminals of beef
No reason is there to chase numbers
Turn over a new leaf
Cast off the fascists and the journos
From your shitposts arise, arise!
Forget the dunks and the sick burn-os
And cat pics will be the prize.....

@jacqueimo if you take the full gamut of positions that Trots and Stalinists have held the Venn diagram is pretty much a circle.

@audiotrack7 @mikeharman @[email protected] twitter is still good, maybe not as good as 2014, for keeping up with international current events and finding specific people to make contacts with. But this is very different from a place to reflectively discuss.

@audiotrack7 @[email protected] can say after years of using/running the libcom forums that while I learned a lot over the years the format, tools, and atmosphere are bad.
